I am so grateful to have found your RUclips channel. I started the 28 day challenge for beginners 17 days ago and it has already done wonders for me both physically and mentally. Thank you for all that you do to help others like myself. ❤
I'm 55 years old. i spent most of last year dealing with debilitating back pain. I'm now 4 month post back surgery and I'm finally ready to commit again, to my body reflecting the strong, fit and healthy person that I see myself as, in my minds eye. Thank you, Rachel, I'm super excited to try your plan.
You are great for giving all this mayor info to us. Today I’ll download the program. Schedule and plan meals and tomorrow will start it! Going for more and better energy and self confidence ☺️
Hi, today is my first day of wall pilates. I'm excited and appreciate all of your hard work. Before we go any further, I just wanted to ask since I have cervical if there are any safety measures or things I should be aware of. Thank you 😊
If you have cervical spine issues I would choose my mat pilates 28 day challenge over the wall pilates one, here is the playlist: Beginner Mat Pilates 28 Day Challenge for Weight Loss + Strength Goals ruclips.net/p/PL6F8elYp4eOFCIMT4EzJbWX8llDIRqtyq
I turned 60 a few months ago - I want to feel stronger, work on my flexibility and I won’t lie I would like to have it as an adder to my weight loss journey
thank you! im going to start your 30 day challenge today and wanted to make sure I don't do anything wrong. Now I know if it hurts, I can make adjustments!
This video was great. I used to not feel it in my shoulder blades but have been more lately. I have tried moving my hips back but it didn't help. I may try a different matt.
It works the core more to stabilize and does give more range of motion than a regular bridge. But if u struggle with it you can keep your feet on the ground for it!
If u want weight loss I usually recommend looking at your diet and eating in a calorie deficit. This is a calorie counting app that I have a partnership with and I have a 5% discount: web.joincarbon.com/?via=rachel
Sorry! Unsure what happened with my last comment. Three results I would like to achieve would be: to have a healthier relationship with food, a better view of myself, and to be able to remain disciplined and actually finish something!
I wanted to ask that I am having backache and my abdomen muscles pain after prolog sitting....plse suggest me waht to do... Whether core exercise or wall.pilates will help
Thankyou for these very informative and helpful tips. This is such a great video for me, as a beginner, who in the past I have tried but failed to persevere with Pilates because it always made my neck and shoulders hurt. I will now try again using your wonderful tips.
Thank you VERY much for this video, however I have issues with lower back pain while trying to prevent my back from arching when I'm doing crunches. Does anybody else have that issue? Is that something that can be prevented by adjusting my form?
Thanks so much for this. I found the warm up video, but couldn’t see a cool down video. Did I miss it and just not look properly or is there none and does any cool down for the worked muscles of that day work just fine? Thanks so much for these videos, done one day, just preparing for my next one tomorrow :)

First day trying 28 day challenge but it hurts between my shoulder blades almost as if I have a broom handle in that part of my back! Am I just not flexible enough?
I really like the wall Pilates and started just 3 days ago (your 28 day challenge), would you recommend doing two different challenges at once? Doing the one with the wall and without? Or should I just stick to one?
Thank you for these tips! New to Pilates and I chose to learn from you because you explain while doing the exercises and now have additional tips. When doing your routines I may only do 5 of each but will eventually work up to more 😊
I totally get it! It can be so uncomfortable. I have another challenge, no wall if you’d like to try that 😊 ruclips.net/p/PL6F8elYp4eOFCIMT4EzJbWX8llDIRqtyq
It still feels like so much pressure on my shoulder blades and when I move further away from the wall it hurts my lower back. Help! Can you do another tutorial?
you can try more padding under the shoulder blades.. some even try it in bed if u have a big headboard. you could also try all the bridging exercises with your feet on the ground, you'll still get glute and ab benefits!
I've tried a few of your workouts and have no problems during, but I experience pretty bad lower back pain, later in the day after the workout. Any tips?
I would try tucking under more during the workout like I showed in the beginning.. if that doesn’t help I would do some of the bridging with your feet on the ground instead of the wall
I am curious about what equipment I need. I’m on day 22 of the challenge then I’m going to move on to whatever you suggest. Thank you so much I love your program!
Bridge up and if it feels comfortable in your hamstrings (the back of your legs) you’re good! If it feels uncomfortable or cramps, scoot closer.. if it feels like too much pressure on your neck or shoulder blades, scoot further away

Wow Rachel I was having a problem with my shoulder blades now I've got it thank you sooo much🙏❤❤

Thank you! Started today, really enjoyed it. I'm completely unfit. I want to get strong and toned and improve my mental health and just get fit

I would like to see noticeable tone, less body pain and stiffness, and higher energy!

IS USING THE WALL FOR BRIDGING AS EFFECTIVE AS NOT USING WALL?
It works the core more to stabilize and does give more range of motion than a regular bridge. But if u struggle with it you can keep your feet on the ground for it!
Do I have to take on any sort of diet to support the wall pilates challenge or pilates in general?
If u want weight loss I usually recommend looking at your diet and eating in a calorie deficit. This is a calorie counting app that I have a partnership with and I have a 5% discount: web.joincarbon.com/?via=rachel
I want to fall in love with working out again, I want to get stronger and more tone, I want to find a workout and stick with it!

Great goals!

I do a lot of core work in my wall pilates, that would great for them

I’m so glad it was helpful!
Thank you! This was helpful, my question is that I’m feeling the work in my thighs and legs, never the abs, what possibly am I doing wrong here
Any bridging will be leg work, but the ab days should be in the abs! It could be u are strong in the abs and need more repetitions ☺️
Thank you VERY much for this video, however I have issues with lower back pain while trying to prevent my back from arching when I'm doing crunches. Does anybody else have that issue? Is that something that can be prevented by adjusting my form?
It’s fine to keep the arch in your back ☺️ if it bothers you more to avoid an arch, just let the natural arch be
Thanks so much for this.

Thank you! These tips are so helpful! I haven’t been wearing gripping socks for wall Pilates; I’ll pull them back out. :)
I’m so glad they are helpful and yes give it a try!
Is this gentle/easy on your knees?
Yes definitely!
Soooo helpful…I’m not crazy or incapable…lol..I got it down now🤗😅
Haha you got this!
First day trying 28 day challenge but it hurts between my shoulder blades almost as if I have a broom handle in that part of my back! Am I just not flexible enough?
hm truthfully im not sure! does anything help with positioning? maybe more padded surface?
I really like the wall Pilates and started just 3 days ago (your 28 day challenge), would you recommend doing two different challenges at once? Doing the one with the wall and without? Or should I just stick to one?
Thank u! I have had ppl do both at once to get a longer workout! There is some overlap too which will work nicely 😊
Thank you for these tips! New to Pilates and I chose to learn from you because you explain while doing the exercises and now have additional tips. When doing your routines I may only do 5 of each but will eventually work up to more 😊
That’s great! I’m so glad my channel is a good fit for u
Thank you. I had a group of 4 of us who were doing your challenge together, and everyone had some issue, and it was discouraging.
I totally understand! It’s a new way to move for most people and can be super tricky to get right!
Thank you for this!! I got to day 8 a few days ago and completely gave up bc my shoulders and neck hurt to much.
I totally get it! It can be so uncomfortable. I have another challenge, no wall if you’d like to try that 😊

Omg hahaha Rachel pop-up again. I really love your routine but in still hating you in the middle of it😂
Haha!! Thanks I appreciate it 😂
Looking to start your program tomorrow. I'm hoping to get more energy, tone up and fit my current wardrobe and get more restful sleep
Wonderful!
Hello! I am so excited to start this but am curious to know if I can do these exercises with diastasis recti?
Yes they are a small range of motion for the crunches and even still- they most current research says that curl ups (crunches) can actually help DR!
Loved this wall Pilates mistake, it was very helpful
I’m so glad!
Thank you. Very helpful!! Day 5 tomorrow.
So glad! 🥰
How do you not have your neck hurt or strain from the back of your neck
When lying down? I would try a more padded mat or try not to bridge up as high
can we have special wall Pilates for inner thight?
Yes!
I've tried a few of your workouts and have no problems during, but I experience pretty bad lower back pain, later in the day after the workout. Any tips?

Of course I’d be happy to make recommendations. What challenge are u currently on?
I am on the 28 day wall Pilates challenge
Gracias, gracias por estos maravillosos tipos, eres muy amable❤
Perdón quise decir tips 🤭
How do you know how far to be from the wall??
Bridge up and if it feels comfortable in your hamstrings (the back of your legs) you’re good! If it feels uncomfortable or cramps, scoot closer.. if it feels like too much pressure on your neck or shoulder blades, scoot further away
Fab I was getting pain in these areas.
So glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this!
Glad it was helpful!
Great tips!
Thanks Rebecca!! 💗
